I think I finally found my Hot Pink track wheels that I've been looking for! Awesome info here & they do actually look nice too!

Latest news: they look nice

As for fitting in the fenders--no different than other 17x10s. For the rear, rolled the lip, relocated the bumper tab. A few mm of clearance, but I am running 3.3deg camber. Might have to pull a little bit more with less camber.

Front's needed some more pulling (and I didn't clean the rocks out of the lip on the driver side so I dimpled it...whoops!)

Is there any rubbing in the front at full lock? Seems like if 17x9 +63 rubs this would as well.

I actually haven't checked yet. My 17x9 +63 were pretty close, so if the backsides are the same, I would need +50. As these are +55, there may be some interference. I'll check tonight.

Initial road test results: feeling pretty baller. Wheels complement wang nicely. Although I'm still not entirely happy with them end plates...might want to change the shape some....

I ran 9" +63 before and had issues with inboard clearance (very minor). With a 3mm spacer, it basically cleared okay with the occasional hiccup. On the 10" side, I'd say a +47 is the minimum for lock to lock. I run 10" +44 on my car and have no issues whatsoever. What other offsets would ppl be interested in?

17x10 +50 should be the magic number for inboard clearance. Some people were having slight rubbing on the inside with the 949 Racing 17x10 +52 and some were not. +50 should be perfect imo.

Wouldn't 10" +50 equate to 9"+63 on the inboard side?

50 seems like a good number, and would give extra bbk clearance as well. I'm leaning towards steering limiters on my car, as I care much less about turning radius than I do about fender clearance and scrub radius.
